Recent Reviews in Bayreuth

Nice hotel, convenient location to our friends

5 out of 5

Overall we had a very good experience apart from one breakfast where they had run out of mugs, there was no juice and no tables cleared. When we did get seated the coffee pot was empty. They restocked the mugs after I asked them to, eventually the juices were refilled however the juice glasses ran out so people used the mugs instead!!! The staff were very friendly and the room attendants did an excellent job each day.

The castle is beautifully appointed as a hotel. It seems mostly patronized by Germans. I was the only non-German in the place, which is a good sign of its appeal to locals. I was there for one of their special meals, 4 courses and a fire show. The food was excellent and the show entertaining. My room had a lovely view. The bathrooms are a little worn, but clean and functional. I was not too happy with the small room I was initially given (a single, which was fine, but no character). They immediately moved me to another room, which was lovely. I would recommend booking a larger room, even if travelling on your own, so you get the nicer decor. The common rooms (dining, lounge) are lovely. Breakfast was excellent. I stayed here for one night on the way from Bayreuth to Munich. It is a little off the beaten track, but worth the extra effort.
